Your Need A Notebook with your Planner 

Yes, I have 1 notebook for my financial plan for my paychecks, my budget planner, 3 calendars, and a partridge in a pear tree

Only 18 min into your video, but YES! I have notes all over the place! Post it’s, scrap paper…never thought to keep everything in a notebook. Thank you! Love your videos, I always learn something! ❤

Vlogmas is wonderful so far this year, you’re doing a great job and I especially appreciate these longer videos/livestreams. You’re an inspiration!

My 2024 organization system will be: - planner- events, important tasks, financial, bullet journal etc (it’s a Kinbor weekly) - pocket notebook- quick notes, journal entries, ideas, shopping lists, etc(just quick stuff) - TN- journal, commonplace

Mini sketch books from Walmart also work well using gel pens❤️ . This is a great idea for mind mapping

I found the colorful stickers at the Dollar Tree. I got them to sort through my shipments at work. Those stickers were a great help. Now I have learned a new way to use them. Thank you for this tip.

I am so glad I found this video! I was debating whether I needed a notebook or two or three to go with my planner! My planner alone wasn't doing the job I needed. Just like you said, I need a notebook to process information!

This was so helpful. I was going to try to just use my planner for everything but I see the notebooks for various aspects of my life would be helpful.

This video has really helped me. I was trying to use my planner for everything and it was not working. I will definitely be implementing this system. Thank you for this.

A space to clear my mind is important and this is a good way to process your thoughts

You make it look so easy but one have to really be so disciplined and focus but no I'll keep watching the videos Thank you ❤

I greatly appreciate this WOMAN RIGHT HERE!!! 😭😭

Very helpful! I thought I was alone and doing overkill with a planner and notebooks. I did purchase a super note last year to compensate for carrying multiple notebooks. I do have paper notebooks on all of my desks and one in my purse.

Just came across your you tube ‘article’ on notebook vs journal- wow so impressed with the amount of useful data. Not just talking but succinct header ‘slides’ to reiterate the lesson. You offer the density of a collage course - but much better organized than any prof. ❤ Impressed and happy to see you in peoples futures- our world is now throwing more information at us it faster than we can process it. As a kinesthetic learner thank you for underscoring how much more you retain (40% more you said) by taking notes. Visual and auditory learners always tell you ‘you don’t need to write it down’.🤣 Thank you for today. Will be watching for your notifications, going now to look at previous ones.😊

I’m really enjoying this series! Thank you for your hard work.❤

Alaina, such a wonderful video. I have definitely fallen behind in watching my RU-vidrs that I regularly follow. I have been suffering from depression for some time. I am a 77 year old widow. I am on medication that has started to help me. I have neglected to take care of all the things that I should have been on top of. Trying to start to reorganize and take control of my life again. You are truly an inspiration and so positive and knowledgeable. Thank you for all of your videos. Take care. Cookie in Mandeville Louisiana

I have the same system. I hhhhave an A5 Hobonichi Cousin and a cheapo blank notebook. The messy brainstorming, pasting of bulky ephemera is in the notebook, the Cousin is for archiving the highlights.

Gosh... I LOOOVEEE your office! I just stumbled upon your planner videos today and now I find myself clicking at the next videos, also subscribed to your channel. Thank your for sharing, really great content.

I do think your vlogmas series are the best. I loved this video. I have so many things I’m responsible for and have no system in place. I think this idea will help a lot

I love your approach to vlogmas this year. I’ve been following your vlogmas videos for a few years and this feels fresh and exciting when you add the lives. ❤

I discovered your RU-vid channel, during 2020, for budgeting. I would watch your videos and work on my planning and budget set-up as I watched and still do, because it helps me get it done right-away. Thank you so much for sharing.

Just found your youtube channel and am loving your content. I really needed help getting to fix these hiccups in my planning process and identifying what is not working and why. I’ll enjoy watching your other videos!

Wow! This vlogmas has been amazing!!! Thank you for sharing so many details! I have been following you for awhile but this has been so helpful and over the top content!! ❤

Love 💕 your tips ! Thanks for sharing 🙏

Hello Alana! You have been an inspiration for me to organize my planner! I appreciate your channel so much and I'm glad I found it too!

56:06 when my significant other and I first started having weekly meetings to review what was coming up, he also was very apprehensive and resistant especially when I requested “said meeting” so I actually started calling them “weekly check in’s” and the uneasiness/angst has subsided tremendously, almost non existent! Just thought I’d share in case this could be useful for anyone else ☺️.

Amazing content. So insightful . Thank you ❤

This is enormously helpful. Thank you.

Now I know why I struggle with planners! There is never enough space in a planner to write notes! I need a notebook! Thank you! Do you have a special planner or notebook for tracking medical issues?

great video, i would love to see your mind mapping video and how to process it and get it into a planner. I went back thru your older videos but i couldn't find a video on it. Thanks

I love your ideas. Definitely going to implement some of them to my planning in 2024!

Love the sticker dot idea!!!

I love your hair! Stylish and classy! Love your channel. New subscriber!

OMG IM SO GLAD I CAUGHT THIS

I love noteboks or something that I can empy my mind. I dscovered BuJo. It save my life the notebook or bujo.

My dilemma with regularly bound notebooks is that I end up with A bound book full of Disconnected information. And then there's a guilt at how long they put off transcribing that information into another format and the stacks of notebooks pileup. 😢 I have disc bound notebooks in a lot of different sizes that can fit into different size purses and totes. And I literally use scratch paper, paper trimmer And a disco punch to make pages for free that I can scribble on and process and then dispose of the original. I also use old spiral notebooks that still have blank paper or at least one side of the page blank, tear it out after I'm done writing and if I want to process it then I trim the fuzzy edge, punch it, and put it in a disk binder for processing. In the original be tossed, shredded, whatever. it's a lot easier to type up notes from a disk bound notebook that lays flat as well. (And I can print that onto scratch paper as well if I'm still in the process of refining the information, or if it's for a to do list for the day, or for a project. If I need a record of what I actually did, I can print a clean copy if that's important to me. I really like combining and written and type written materials for my planner and my notebooks. The typing is a lot more legible,😂, I can revise the tasks of projects without rewriting everything.

❤ your hair is gorgeous

...I was inspired to buy a notebook this year to plot my projects. Now I know why!

The problem is i need to go work, go to my boyfriends house and also go to my parents house. Everyday im moving and having to carry things around is heavy

For planning on the go do you take your big planner out and about?

Notebook can be a recicly white pages cutted in half. Don´t loose the big reason to have it.
